This decorative vase is made of white casting clay. The internal enamelling and the upper opening allow it to be used to carry a small vase (max 10 cm). The bottom is not drilled, it is possible to drill it to order. The crown and flowers are applied by hand and finished down to the smallest detail. After the drying phase, the clay is fired at 1000° centigrade. The terracotta is thus immersed in the transparent crystalline bath. The second firing takes place at 920° centigrade and is used to vitrify and waterproof the clay.

Naturewit by Maria Aurora Manetti
All Naturewit ceramic products are strictly and entirely handmade, by me. My name is Maria Aurora Manetti and I am a Florentine ceramic artisan. The brand was born from my love for nature and for everything that is green, sustainable and possibly self-produced. Ceramic, being basically clay and glass, is the right material for my idea of art. Since I was a child I have always lived in the countryside around Florence, surrounded by olive trees and vineyards. From here I developed my artistic sensitivity and desire to create. Observing nature, I understood that there is a spirit behind everything and it is to this spirit that my art is dedicated.
